Sign-changing solution for logarithmic elliptic equations with critical exponent

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the logarithmic elliptic equations with critical exponent \begin{equation} \begin{cases} -\Delta u=\lambda u+ |u|^{2^*-2}u+\theta u\log u^2, \\ u \in H_0^1(\Omega), \quad \Omega \subset \R^N. \end{cases} \end{equation} Here, the parameters $N\geq 6$, $\lambda\in \R$, $\theta>0$ and $ 2^*=\frac{2N}{N-2} $ is the Sobolev critical exponent. We prove the existence of sign-changing solution with exactly two nodal domain for an arbitrary smooth bounded domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^{N}$. When $\Omega=B_R(0)$ is a ball, we also construct infinitely many radial sign-changing solutions with alternating signs and prescribed nodal characteristic.
